i got my daughter a CB for her birthday. got it yesterday and started it up. it was super slow to browse...load pages, etc. for being brand new, this was a bit of a disappointment and soemthing i hope can be remedy with some setting or something.

i found this when googling...."OK, FINALLY! With the help from Support we found that the Chromebook/ChromeOS doesn't work very well with WEP or WPA encryption (at least not for my Chromebook). By either disabling encryption (not recommended) or using WPA2 encryption solved the issue. It also gave a huge web browsing speed boost, a completely different experience."

I bought a Chrome Book (Acer C7)for my wife and she hated it so now it's mine and I love it. I also bought a 32Gig mini thumb drive for it because I don't wanna' put all my stuff on "the cloud" which is really "someone else's computer/server".

WPA2 Encryption is the default connection for me on my Wi-Fi so I'm not sure how you'd change it.
